As induction chemotherapy goes on,target volume,dose distribution in the surrounding organs at risk (OARs),and target dose conformity all change.Therefore,the question is how to develop reasonable radiotherapy plans in clinical practice.Induction chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy is commonly used around the world,but it is recommended to delineate the target volume based on the gross tumor volume before induction chemotherapy and not to reduce the dose.This point of view lacks the basis of evidence-based medicine.The experts and scholars in China clarify the advantages of radiotherapy plans after induction chemotherapy from the aspects of reducing the target volume,reducing the volume of high-dose region in the target volume,increasing the uniform dose coverage in target volume,reducing dose to OARs,and increasing dose conformity.However,at present,there are no objective data on its long-term efficacy and benefit.Besides,no consensus has been reached on how to delineate the target volume and determine the dose distribution after induction chemotherapy,and further studies are needed.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors for nosocomial pneumonia(NP) caused by imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(IRAB) and its antimicrobial susceptibility in vitro. METHODS The data of 34 cases of IRAB-NP were analyzed and 68 cases of NP caused by imipenem-susceptible A.baumannii(ISAB) were randomized as control.Antimicrobial susceptibility(MIC) was determined with the method of agar dilution. RESULTS The two independent factors associated with the development of IRAB-NP: previous fluoroquinolone(OR=5.738) and imipenem/meropenem(OR=7.129) use.The drug sensitivity test in vitro showed that these strains were multiresistant to commonly used antibiotics,and only ampicillin/sulbactam and cefoperazone/sulbactam whose resistance rate was less than 30%. CONCLUSIONS Previous imipenem/meropenem and fluoroquinolone use is independent risk factors for IRAB-NP.These strains are high drug resistant.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and clinical efficacy of stratified suture of lateral pharyngeal wall(SSLPW) combined with soft palate radiofrequency coblation in the treatment of the patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS).Methods:The clinical data of 21 severe OSAHS patients underwent lateral pharyngoplasty(LP) combined with soft palate radiofrequency coblation (LP group) and 39 severe OSAHS patients underwent SSLPW combined with soft palate radiofrequency coblation (SSLPW group) were selected.The apnea hypopnea index(AHI),lowest SaO2(LSaO2),Epworth sleepiness scale(ESS) scores,and related postoperative complications of the patients in two groups were analyzed before and after operation.The successful rates of operation of the patients in two were compared.Results:In LP group,1 patient was cured (5%),19 patients were improved markedly (90%),1 patient was effective (5%),and no patient was invalid;the successful rate was 95.2%(20/21).In SSLPW group,2 patients were cured (5.1%),33 patients were improved markedly (84.6%),4 patients were effective (10.3%),and no patients was invalid;the successful rate was 89.7%(35/39);there was no statistical difference in the successful rate of operation of the patients between two groups (P>0.05).There was statistically significant improvement of the subjective symptoms.All the patients returned to normal subjective swallowing functions without nasal pharyngeal reflux and dysphagia in one month follow-up after operation.Compared with before operation,the AHI and ESS scores of the patients in two groups after operation were decreased(P<0.05);the LSaO2 scores were increased(P<0.05).Conclusion:The AHI,LSaO2 and ESS scores are significantly improved in the OSAHS patients after treated with SSLPW combined with soft palate radiofrequency coblation.The method is a valid option for the severe OSAHS patients.

The traditional fermentation engineering experiment requires a reform on the experimental con-tents and teaching pattern. According to the production process of industrial enzymes, we set up a two-week comprehensive experiment. The students designed and prepared the experiment by themselves. Moreover, the pattern of self-management was used in the process and the experiment scores included the self-assess-ment and objective assessment. It was proved that the new teaching pattern increased the study interesting of students, inspired their initiative and trained their spirits of team cooperation. The teaching effect was im-proved markedly and good ideas are also put forward to solve the possible problem.

This study aims to construct a dynamic two-dimensional characterization technique for the hygroscopicity of traditional Chinese medicine extracts and investigate the effect of material properties of powders on hygroscopicity. The dynamic hygroscopicity-time curves of the powders were measured at 25 ℃ and 75% humidity, and the semi-equilibrium hygroscopicity time (t_1/2) and equilibrium hygroscopicity (F^∞) were derived as two-dimensional evaluation indicators. Finally, the correlation between the material properties and the hygroscopic behavior was analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares analysis (PLS). The results showed that the dynamic two-dimensional characterization system of hygroscopicity constructed with 1/t_1/2 = 0.1 h^-1 and F^∞ = 15% as the center can classify the hygroscopic behavior of traditional Chinese medicine extracts into four categories: fast hygroscopicity with strong hygroscopicity, slow hygroscopicity with strong hygroscopicity, fast hygroscopicity with weak hygroscopicity and slow hygroscopicity with weak hygroscopicity. The moisture absorption was negatively correlated with D₅₀, D₉₀, ρ_b and ρ_t; the moisture absorption rate was negatively correlated with D₁₀, D₅₀, D₉₀, ρ_b, ρ_t, and positively correlated with moisture content. The hygroscopicity dynamic two-dimensional characterization indicators of Chinese medicine extracts (CMEs) constructed in this study matched with the physical properties. The method of dynamic multi-dimensional characterization technology is feasible and scientific, and the idea has strong promotional value.
